SCO Offers Up The 'SCAMP' Stack

Posted by ryuzaki0 on Tuesday March 14, 2006 @03:15AM from the quite-the-little-scamps dept.

Robert wrote to mention a Computer Business Review Online article about SCO's newest marketing tactic. They're offering their OS as part of a 'SCAMP' stack, ala the more familiar LAMP setup. From the article: "The Lindon, Utah-based Unix vendor has included the open source Apache web server, MySQL database, and PHP and Perl programming languages with its SCO OpenServer operating system since the launch of OpenServer 6 in June 2005. It is now pitching the technologies as a SCAMP stack, placing it squarely up against the Linux-based LAMP stack. SCO claims that Linux contains Unix code donated to the open source operating system in violation of agreements between it and IBM Corp."

I heard that the reason nobody does this is that some evil corp has a patent on mini-games during installers.

I'm not really sure how, I remember playing pac man on my sinclair once while a game was loading from tape, which would surely be prior art.

I doubt many people would stop calling it LAMP if it included FreeBSD instead of Linux
I've seen "FLPR" (FreeBSD / LigHTTPd / Postgres / Ruby (on Rails)) gaining popularity...
